On Sunday morning, At 42 days of age
Total weight of all 56 birds stood at 143.79kg.
This gives a mean weight value of 2.57kg.
Will be offloading them today, by God's grace.

It's been God all along, all thanks to him and to all of you on this thread Especially @OP - oga Emma, Turks.

Akure should have a large market and you have to look for processors. That is people who buy in volume and resale at their end. How good is electricity there? If one have the will and capital, you could go into the freezing part of broilers.

Very unlikely but not impossible, you'll have to find out for the particular hatchery , but Marek's disease vaccine is given.

*56 Chikun Cobb500 DOC stocked.

*Out of the 56 birds reared, 54 were sold on dressed weight basis.

*After dressing, 54 birds had a combined weight of 109.55kg.

*They were reared for 6 weeks, and fed 10 bags of Chikun feed ;
-superstarter(1-2 weeks)
-starter(2-4 weeks)
-finisher(4-6 weeks)

*Final live weight range was 1.59kg - 3.3kg.

*2 of the biggest birds were kept for personal consumption.

Seriously, I don't know much about it, I only know that they sell the ArborAcre breed of broilers. If you can get a hold their customer care numbers u should call to confirm what vaccines are given from the hatchery

Poultry is a very useless business.....you guys here are misleading people I can vehemently say Dat poultry is not profitable.... I engaged in it.... With all the all stress Dat is involved I was not able to make good sales tho I sold all my birds.... I was lucky to even recoup capital.... People will price your birds ridiculously.... My birds were very big....even though I stay in Abuja.... Am advising people use your money for a better business..... Agriculture is rubbish in Nigeria
